title: Running to catch up: rapid generation of evidence for interventions in learning disability services.
abstract: Few high-quality trials have been conducted in intellectual disability mental health. Trials such as Willner et al's have a 'close-to-market' focus. I argue that rapid generation of evidence for individuals with intellectual disability is the priority, alongside a new research focus on mental health in those with severe intellectual disability.
